Pastor Mark Burns, the president’s informal “spiritual advisor,” wants to make one thing very clear about the extremely tall gold statue of Donald Trump that was officially dedicated last week in Doral, Miami. “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone,” he wrote on Twitter.
He’s technically right, just as Rene Magritte was technically right that his painting of a pipe was not actually a pipe. In the most literal sense, the statue of Trump, which is named “Don Colossus” is not a golden calf.
Despite the president calling it “The Real Deal - GOLD,” on Truth Social, the statue is not made of gold. Unlike the golden calf, which was made from melting the jewelry of the Egyptians, the Trump statue is not actually made of solid gold. “Don Colossus” is cast in bronze and covered in gold leaf, making it much, much less valuable. It is also obviously not a calf, as calves are baby cows, and the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
What would Moses do?
Throw the idol into a fire, I guess.
The statue, too.
Reducing the idol into a powder, mixing it with water, and making the idolators drink the mixture is also on the table.
If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it’s a golden idol.
We are witnessing Olympic levels of mental gymnastics here.
It’s not an idol, it’s just a gold-looking representation of something a large group of people fervently honor and pray to, and according to their own chit-chat, hold in higher respect than jesus or god. And nothing more.
how blasphemous of evengelicals.
FR. I think devolution just went up a notch. Gold statues, ehmmm wasn’t that a trend 1500 years ago in Europe?
“The church has investigated the claims about rampant pedophilia”
And has determined that nothing unusual is going on?
Conveniently, unusual is not equal to immoral.
So what the fuck is it then Burns??
just one of the major heresies
and God later sent a plague upon the people for their idolatry.
frogs of locusts please. you can eat them. i’d prefer the locusts tho since the frogs will keep you up all night

Idols can be negative. Trump actively makes me dislike Christians more by way of being a bad example.
They gave it wifi and call it i-Dol.

How long before he’s charging admission just as far as the statue, so MAGAs can kneel to it?

Sometimes I wish God was real, so we’d get to see him swoop in and smite these fucking hypocrites.
if god isn’t real it is up to us to make the world a just god would make.
It should be no problem to come to broad consensus on what that would look like!
Anarchy would be it if humans were capable of self governance and not being cunts. But it depends on all humans working together in sync, so it’ll never happen.
Depends. Are those innate traits or learned skills?
It doesn’t matter at this point. Either way you have to have all of humanity change at once and agree on everything.
I think that every time one of these psychos assumes room temperature. Upon hearing of their death, I’d love the satisfaction of imagining their reaction upon entering Hell for the eternity of fiery torture that we’ve been promised.
But alas, it’s all a fairy tale, as real as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
It’s a nice thought.
Do those bastards not see what can happen to despots?
I prefer this outcome:
how about both?
tomato potato. some of those ugly ugly giant bags of mostly water.
Can’t wait to see these statues finally torn down by an invading imperial army doing a photo op for their dumb fat chud viewers on the other side of the planet.
A lot of dictators die peacefully in their sleep a night. 😞
they do die peacfully from a bit of string too.
of natural causes too. once your fatal bullet poisoning reachees the butthole they have to replace your legs with wheels and your arms with those extendo boxing gloves or else we wouldn’t have enough whimsical things to laugh at in the world (like when’s the last time you saw a clown in a bathtub being pulled down the river by a flock of geese).
They always think they’re the exception. It’s a symptom of their narcissistic personality disorder.

the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
No, it’s a giant pig.
Now, be nicer to pigs, they’re intelligent, capable of empathy. It’s actually a giant pile of gold leafed shit.
A gilded turd.
Valid. I actually love piggies.
Real pigs don’t live in their own shit if they have a choice.
They’re pretty clean animals in general, they just roll in mud to cool off.
I prefer to think about it as an orange turd, perfectly suitable for the eventual Trump Memorial.
Ohhhhhh SNAP ! 😂
